Family-Based Treatment (FBT) for Anorexia & Bulimia

Family-Based Treatment (FBT) (also described as the "Maudsley Method") is the leading evidence-based treatment for adolescents with anorexia nervosa. In the largest randomized clinical trial to date, the rate of full recovery among teens receiving FBT was approximately twice that of individual therapy. FBT has also proven to be similarly effective in treating adolescents with bulimia nervosa, and is often effective for young adults who are living with their family as well.

Dr. Andrew Fleming provides FBT for adolescents and young adults. Dr. Fleming was intensively trained by James Lock, MD, a co-developer of FBT, and has completed specialty rotations in treatment of adolescents with eating disorders at the UCLA Medical Center and Seattle Children's Hospital.
